CREAMIEST VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

Creamiest Vegan Corn Chowder image

The base of this soup used to be a roux-thickened chicken broth with milk and cheese added. However, since becoming vegan, I had to adapt, and I'm proud to say that this version is thicker and creamier than the original, and it was all achieved without a drop of flour or milk. It's not only the best vegan corn chowder recipe I've had, but it's just plain the best corn chowder ever. Even my non-vegan family loves it, and they request it regularly. This recipe makes a lot, but it keeps and freezes very well.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 ribs celery, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and finely diced
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 quarts vegetable broth
8 cups fresh corn kernels, divided
1 cup cashews
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir potatoes, cauliflower, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano into vegetables; cook about 5 minutes more.
Pour vegetable broth and 6 cups corn kernels and into vegetable mixture and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves.
Place remaining 2 cups corn kernels, cashews, and nutritional yeast into a blender and add several large spoonfuls of simmering broth to blender. Work in batches if necessary, filling blender no more than half full per batch. Cover lid with a dish towel and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth. Stir cashew mixture into soup pot; season with salt and black pepper.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover corn. I always have a few ears of corn left over after I make corn on the cob, and this is a great way to use them up.
